Table 2 shows the mean values of buccal contour when using or not using the reference tooth during the confection of the laminate veneers.

An interesting finding of the present study was that when the values of buccal contour using or not an anatomic reference were compared (Table 2), it was observed that the veneers using the reference presented higher means of overcontour.
